What's a Glory Without a Story?

By Sis. Helena Bennie Missamou

We are familiar with the beautiful tales in the Bible of our ancestors that went through great measures to achieve what they have achieved, but we prefer to familiarize ourselves with their glories instead of their stories.

Let’s take a look at Sarah in the book of Genesis 17:15-22 when the promise of God is given to her and when she mocks the promise of God in Genesis 18:11-12 -”Abraham  and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing.

So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought,’ after I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?”

I am sure Sarah was not the only one laughing, but the whole town probably had a say in her matter, questioning her faithfulness to God, trying to discourage her and even mock God because of her but that was her time of story.

Sarah had to go through this temporary process in order to enter into her glory! The glory of God overflowed in her life and she birthed one of the greatest servants of God in the Bible – Isaac.

And some of us believe that our past sinful nature is a hold back to the promise of God when it isn’t. Mary Magdalene was labeled & humiliated because of her mistakes but accepted by God because of the decision she took to run to Him, even when she was being stoned in John 8:1-7.

From a prostitute to an evangelical icon, she was the first woman to see Christ after He rose in the tomb, now that is major Glory! 

Keep your faith and pray, run to Jesus for all that you need in your time of story because your story will end up in glory, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen.

You will have a great turn-around this 2020.
Remain blessed. 
Shalom.
